For some cars that are manufactured in a different country, even though they are the same model, sometimes the spec could be quite different.
Ford Mustang Mach-E Some interesting differences between US Mach-E and Chinese Mach-E 1643784388172601

@AlpaChino suggest to me that it would be quite interesting to share some differences between the US Mach E and the CN Mach E. As we are developing accessories for Mach E, we found that there are many places that are different between these two versions, a lot of them are minor, for example, small curvature difference on the roof, the width of the rubber on the window sealing. I picked a couple of interesting differences to share with you, do you know why they made these differences? which one do you think is designed better.

The Interior

The middle console area in the CN version used slides to cover up the cup holder area, while in the US version, this area is open.

The Exterior

The exterior of MME in China comes in GT design in all spec. the front grille, front lip, and front bumper are all the same across spec, only the rims and paint are different

? A piano black cover? Please no! The worst interior material possible, easily scratched, smudged and marked. Even cleaning it with a plush microfibre towel makes scratches. Even Tesla did away with piano black. Hope this is not a design change for 2022 and beyond.

Most important difference is the LiFePO battery. Funny how the made in China version is so much better than ours. The reason is the EV competition in china is fierce. There are at least 5 companies making EVs and selling there

Agree with this, would love to see some real world comparisons between the two batteries. I got a confirmation on the FB group that BYD is making the battery over yonder.

While I agree on the piano black being a poor choice for the cup holder covers at least it gets one, that center console is far better than the cheap gloss plastic effort we get. It is not just the cover it is also the surrounding trim.

But this is to be expected as of late Fords interior efforts for the Chinese market have been far better than what they offer on the USA spec vehicles :(. One of the main reasons why the mach-e will probably be my last Ford and I will be spending my dollars elsewhere if they continue with short changing vehicles.

I would love the running Mustang lights. I wonder if they'd just be plug and play replacements if you can get someone in China to order from their Ford parts there and then send it to the US.

I'm not a fan of the center console, but I love all the other differences in the CN version. I wish my Premium AWD had the same front grille and bumper as the GT!

Saw my first GT in the wild this week. The grill is a bit silly, much like putting side pipes on an EV. The running pony is a no go.
